Marshall Automotive and Tyres is a family-run tyre and mechanical workshop at 496 Wairakei Road in Burnside, Christchurch. It began in 2006, when Greg and Lyn Marshall bought an existing 30-year-old tyre shop and then added mechanical repairs. The workshop offers servicing, tyres, WOF repairs, brake repairs and warranty servicing, and the website says its staff are certified for manufacturer logbook servicing, following the manufacturer's specifications and MTA standards. Pre-purchase inspections on second-hand cars are also offered. The website says the shop serves Harewood, Bishopdale and Burnside, as well as the rest of Christchurch. Tyres are a large part of the work, with puncture repairs and new batteries also mentioned.
Customers say the staff are helpful and easy to deal with. One customer needed new tyres, and the shop had them in stock and fitted them straight away. Another, whose car had broken down with no booking, was offered a courtesy car for a day when a part was delayed. A pre-purchase inspection on a second-hand car was described as thorough, with plenty of advice. Reviews talk about fair prices, and the workshop's tyre fitting and puncture repairs come up most. Hagley Motors, 0.2 km away, and Service Pro, 0.3 km away, both rate 4.8 from 39 and 64 reviews.
